3M™ 360 Encompass™ Autonomous Coding System

Asset Main Image.
Coding staff shortages and budget constraints are a reality for hospitals and health systems’ revenue cycle departments. In a post-pandemic world, hospitals compete for qualified talent at a national level and regulatory changes, compliance and growing specificity in codes make it challenging to stay up to date. Coding automation can help alleviate these concerns, but what does true coding automation look like and how will it affect health information departments?

How it works

3M™ 360 Encompass™ Autonomous Coding System works behind the scenes, with full client control, sending all up-to-date outpatient visits through a chart confidence workflow. Within this workflow, visits that pass all the system and client defined automation criteria are fully automated and final coded ready for the next step in the billing process, without any coder interaction. This solution is a truly autonomous coding experience, allowing coders to focus their expertise on more complex cases.
For those visits that do not pass the criteria, a semi-autonomous workflow will kick in to help expedite and guide coders to a reliable final code set. Using a quality assurance process, your facility determines the percentage of qualified visits presented for coder review, providing additional peace of mind that the system is producing the correct final code set, or if needed, facilities can adjust parameters based on the coder’s expertise.
